Margaret and Helen's Thanksgiving Letter to the Family 2009

A very funny posting, by two of the funniest ladies in Blogging. I don’t care of they are liberals. The writing is just absolutely hilarious. Check out their blog too; it’s a great read.

Dear Family,

This year I am thankful to have you as my family rather than a normal American family. I say that because Sarah Palin is fond of talking about her family being a normal American family.

Last time I checked everyone in my family knows where Africa is on a globe. Everyone goes to college after high school. We’ve had no teen pregnancies as of yet and no one has appeared in Playgirl. If the Palins are a normal American family, I guess my bunch of anti-American socialists are fine by me.

But we have our own issues. For instance, some of us are Aggies and others are Longhorns. Which makes for interesting choices for some of you. If a football game is more important than Thanksgiving, then consider this my last will and testament: When I die, it’s all going to charity.

Thanksgiving dinner will be moved to Friday after all of you have returned from your important tailgating party. And now that I have made that little sacrifice, I am sure you will all work extra hard to comply with a few rules.

1. Cloe. I am begging you honey. None of that Jello crap. No one eats it and the garbage stinks for a week after I throw it out. You and Jello are like Palin and McCain. How many times before you learn no one wants seconds much less firsts.

2. Jennifer. Your children are cute. We all can agree on that. Your husband’s video camera capturing every runny nose and bowel movement– not so much. Keep this up honey and you’ll have one posing for Playgirl before you know it. It’s just not natural to be that comfortable in front of a camera. Ten minutes of video when you first arrive and then the camera goes back into the camera bag.

3. Trudy. If your brother and sister want to come, they can be on time like everyone else. If they are late again this year, they can eat what the dogs don’t finish.

4. Rhonda. It’s my oven and once again I’ll be using it right up until mealtime. If you can’t bring something that doesn’t require heating, then don’t bring anything at all.

5. Mary. Your kid’s dirty shoes and my clean sofa have never met. Let’s keep it that way.

6. If you are a meat-eater, try a vegetable for your health. If you are a vegetarian, try the stuffing for the bacon. Either way, you’ll be cured of what ails you.

7. If I see one grandchild doing that texting stuff, there will be no pie for dessert. If I see one parent checking email… scratch that – new rule. Leave your cell phone in your car. They used to be called mobile phones for a reason. Now-a-days the only thing mobile about your phone is your thumbs. Trust me. Skinny thumbs and a fat ass are not a good look.

8. Jonathan. How a Republican ended up in this family is beyond me, but we love you all the same. That said, Reagan is dead darling. Get over it.

9. I cooked the meal. Your grandfather paid for it. You can clean the kitchen and we’ll call it even.

10. Honestly, if you insist on bringing anything, bring some butter. I go through about 20 sticks to get this meal on the table and I might as well start stocking up for Christmas now.

11. Marshall. I am sure you believe that your children sing beautifully. Don’t put me in a situation where I have to make you question your beliefs.

12. Grandpa Harold says if the Longhorns win, the bar is open. If they lose, the party is BYOB.

Now that is some seriously funny stuff; no matter what your politics are. 😀

The Saturday Mornin' Music Cafe Presents: The MC5

I’ve posted this before, long ago. But It’s sweet music. 😛

This is from 1970. Performed Live at Wayne State University’s Tartar Field in Detroit.

Yeah, I know about their politics. Big deal. 🙄 I just like the jam. 😀

Trivia: The MC5 was founded in the local city here where I live. 😀

A few words about Oprah Winfrey

I had read about Oprah Winfrey deciding to stop her show come 2011. I really was not going to say much about that, after all the most of the right wing blogs were really trashing the woman and I did not want to be a part of that, at all. As an unrepentant capitalist, I have to agree with the words of Bill O’Rielly, when it comes to Oprah:

I mean this is a woman that came from nothing to rise up to be the most powerful woman, I think, in the world. I think Oprah Winfrey is the most powerful woman in the world, not just in America. That’s — anybody who goes on her program immediately benefits through the roof. I mean, she has a loyal following; she has credibility; she has talent; and she’s ‘s done it on her own to become fabulously wealthy and fabulously powerful — (Original Source Here)

Let me first state that I do not admire this woman’s politics, nor do I admire her idiotic “Self Religion” nonsense that she promotes on her show and in her books. However, there is something to be said about a woman, in fact, was born in abject poverty and then rose up out of her personal situation to become one of the most successful talk show personalities in the entire world. Like it or not, my fellow capitalist Conservative friends, but the woman is worth 2.3 Billion dollars.  In street terms, “That’s a whole bunch of flow!”

So, while some of my friends to the right of me in politics might want to rip on her. I have nothing bad to say about her, because frankly, she has done very well in our open capitalistic society. Oprah started with nothing, got a very lucky break, worked her behind off, and made something out of nothing; I, as a Conservative, who believes in a free market system cannot find a gripe with that at all. She, in fact, deserves the riches she has acclaimed, as she earned it.

On a more personal level, I can hardly believe that it has been 25 years since Oprah’s show first hit the airwaves. That makes me feel so hideously old. I remember the very funny promotional commercials for her show; that very playfully poked fun at her first name. I remember watching some of the first shows and thinking, “Who in the name of the Almighty would watch something like this?” Well, Lucky for Oprah, I guess not everyone thinks like me.

Therefore, in closing, I will say this — while I do not agree with her politics, which are decidedly left. I do wish her the best. I hope she continues to make a difference for good in the world. I just wish that Oprah would realize that the very politics that she supports wants to steal the very wealth that she has worked so very hard for and give to those who not only do not deserve it, but also never worked a day in their lives for it.

Living Proof that Liberals are classless assholes

This is quite nasty one too.

First the Video:

The Story and transcript is via NewsBusters:

After introducing Lopez on her CNN Headline News program last night, Behar played a clip of Lopez’s HBO special in which he said, “There are a lot of politicians that would be Latinos and a lot now who are Latino. Sarah Palin, Latina. Believe me. She’s got all the signs. She works and her husband don’t.”

Later in the segment, after commenting about Palin’s lack of experience, Lopez stated, “I mean, the concept of Todd Palin being a stay-at-home dad-listen Joy, when I was a kid, those guys were called bums.”

“Uh-huh. They’re still called bums,” agreed Behar.

Later in the segment, after commenting about Palin’s lack of experience, Lopez stated, “I mean, the concept of Todd Palin being a stay-at-home dad-listen Joy, when I was a kid, those guys were called bums.”

“Uh-huh. They’re still called bums,” agreed Behar.

The reality about Todd Palin is this, which was noted by the Washington Post; when they did a smear on Palin:

…But Todd Palin, 44, the ruggedly handsome four-time winner of the 2,000-mile Iron Dog snowmobile race, was already an Alaska star before his wife’s election in 2006. Along with his family duties, he held two jobs, working occasional 85-hour weeks as an oil production operator for BP and, for a month each summer, as a commercial salmon fisherman in Bristol Bay.

So much for Todd Palin being a bum eh? 🙄

Oh and there’s more:

Lopez didn’t simply insult the Palins’ division of labor, but opened fire on her looks and other situations regarding her family after Behar asked him, “What other signs are there that Palin is Latino?”

“She has a child and a grandchild the same age, and the tell-tale sign is she needs to get her roots done,” Lopez replied.

Not content to leave the insults there, Behar asked Lopez if he lived in Palin’s “real America.” Lopez stated, in a nod to the infamous Tina Fey parody of Palin’s “Russia” answer, “Well, I can’t see Mexico from my porch, so I don’t think so.”

A turn in the conversation where Behar claimed to not know what Palin was talking about when she discusses the “liberal elite” led Lopez to comment on Palin’s role as governor and former vice-presidential candidate, and her “bum” husband:

“I’m not even sure if she knows what she’s talking about at this point. I mean, her whole life is really one of those things where because of the reality and the reality stars and the situations, you know, being a governor of Alaska would have been a great gig if that was it, but to take that thing and try to take it global or through the United States when you haven’t been a political figure and you haven’t traveled and you haven’t gone to Congress and you haven’t passed any major bills, it’s a difficult pill to have America swallow. I mean, the concept of Todd Palin being a stay at home dad — listen, joy, when I was a kid, those guys were called bums.”

Such class from those who won the election and now have their President. Sarah Palin is not even running for office, but yet, they feel the need to attack here. Such class, such noble political correctness; I am not a big fan of Sarah Palin; as I have written before —  but this just shows me, that the Liberal Elite fear her still to this day. America will remember this come 2012 —feminists especially. This is classic liberal overreach; it will come back to haunt them come 2010 and 2012. They need to enjoy it while they can. Because when the public speaks again, it will not be pretty, I can assure you of that.

According to Rasmussen, John McCain's Money is not going to buy 2010 election

Like it has bought the rest of them….

Senator John McCain’s future in the U.S. Senate may be a little less assured than previously thought.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely 2010 Republican Primary voters in Arizona finds the longtime incumbent in a virtual tie with potential challenger J.D. Hayworth. McCain earns 45% of the vote, while Hayworth picks up 43%.

Former Minuteman leader Chris Simcox gets four percent (4%) support, while two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate and seven percent (7%) are undecided.

Hayworth, a conservative former U.S. congressman who now is a popular radio talk show host in Phoenix, is reportedly interested in the race but has not formally declared for it. He captures 59% of the male GOP vote, while McCain wins 58% of female voters.

Younger GOP voters like Hayworth more than their elders. McCain has a solid lead among the relatively small number of moderate and liberal Republicans in the state while Hayworth picks up a plurality (48%) of conservatives.

via Election 2010: Arizona Senate GOP Primary – Rasmussen Reports™.

I hate to be the one to say it; But, I am glad as hell that John McCain is going to get his tail kicked in the primary. The Late Senator Barry Goldwater hated this man’s guts till the day he died. Goldwater saw McCain as a made man; who got in on his family’s name. Here is hoping that Hayworth runs and defeats this RINO once and for all!

Breitbart to AG Holder: Do your job douche nozzle or we will burn the Democrats come 2010!

Oh Man, there’s gonna be many a Democrat singing the blues, if Eric Holder does not do his job before 2010.

The Video:

Breitbart: There’s a lot of hypocrisy and the dust has settled for ACORN and at the end of the day they’ve recognized that Eric Holder, the Attorney General, has not initiated an investigation into ACORN after we now have seven tapes. There were five initially that came out, ACORN was defunded by the Senate, was defunded by the House, lost it’s link to the Census; while all that damage occurred, Congress didn’t come in to investigate them, obviously not the Attorney General’s office, and they’ve now realized let’s get back into business because they realized that the dust settled and they were not being investigated, it was Hannah, James, and me who were being investigated, that’s why we’ve been forced to offer this latest tape.

Hannity: Are you saying, Andrew, that there are more tapes?

Breitbart: Oh my goodness there are! Not only are there more tapes, it’s not just ACORN. And this message is to Attorney General Holder: I want you to know that we have more tapes, it’s not just ACORN, and we’re going to hold out until the next election cycle, or else if you want to do a clean investigation, we will give you the rest of what we have, we will comply with you, we will give you the documentation we have from countless ACORN whistleblowers who want to come forward but are fearful of this organization and the retribution that they fear that this is a dangerous organization. So if you get into an investigation, we will give you the tapes; if you don’t give us the tapes, we will revisit these tapes come election time.

Hannity: This is a blockbuster, what you’re saying here. You guys have more tapes, you’ll release them before the election, that could have a big impact on the election, obviously…

via Big Government  – Breitbart to AG Holder: Investigate ACORN or We’ll Release More Tapes Just Before 2010 Election.

Needless to say; this election cycle coming in 2010 is going to be an extremely interesting one.  😯 If I were holder, I would be contacting Andrew and pronto. Because if there is something huge that Andrew is sitting on, like a corruption tape, involving say, The President. The fall out would be huge; As in Richard Nixon kind of huge.

Global-Warming E-Mail Hack-Gate

This one is quite the big story; although there are some doubters.

Check out the round up; that itself is a doozy!

Michelle Malkin wisely adds:

First things first: The alleged hackers need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I couldn’t agree more. Nobody and I mean, nobody; deserves to have their private e-mails printed anywhere, at all. Even if they are peddling with the greatest hoaxes known to mankind.

I personally would like to know who exactly was behind this hacking; if it were a Conservative blogger or someone connected to one. I would like to see him exposed and shamed in the Blogosphere. Because we Conservatives; especially those who are Republicans, do NOT believe in lawlessness; and that is exactly what this was, Anarchy and it is wrong.

Not feeling well today.

How I feel.....
How I feel.....

Yes, that’s right folks. I feel like crap right now and No, it is not because I went to this. I could not have gotten there; if I’d wanted to.

What the problem is; is that my body clock is whacked at the moment. Staying up reading Find-a-Death till 6 in the morning and then getting up at 11 in the morning is NOT conducive to a productive day of blogging.

So, until I can get my shiznit together; I suggest you check out some of the other Blogs in my Blogroll and check out the latest at Memeornadum, which is in my left sidecar.
